Features: Strategic human resource management in the public sector and the cultivation of human capital have become one of the winning strategies for enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of the public sector. From this perspective, the authors address the complex external environment and the background of diverse value conflicts in public sector human resource management. Based on a critique of the shortcomings and unsuitability of the traditional civil service system, they conduct a comprehensive analysis at both the political process and management technology levels, revealing the new trends in current public sector human resource development, exploring the dynamic mechanisms for balancing the diverse interests of public personnel management, proposing various policies and strategies for developing strategic human resource management in the public sector, and providing practical experience and pathways to solve human resource development issues through classic case studies. This textbook organically links the technical issues of public personnel management with the policy issues of public policy formulation. To highlight the realities of politics and management, the textbook comprehensively and systematically explores the systems and strategies of public personnel management: its values, conflicts, political processes, and management techniques. For anyone interested in public personnel management or human resource management, this textbook is an excellent choice.
